Lieberman CEO To Present On Privileged Access Management

The Military Cyber Security Conference will be addressed this week by Philip Lieberman who will be speaking about the dilemmas of common credentials

Philip Lieberman will be a speaker at the Military Cyber Security Conference taking place September 7-9 in Arlington, VA.

Lieberman is a recognized IT security expert with more than 30 years of experience. On Thursday, Sept. 8 at 10:15 a.m. ET he will present "The Common Credentials Dilemma," examining how privileged identities impact the security of highly sensitive military and federal government data through their control of access to systems and applications.

The Military Cyber Security Conference brings together the senior level military, government and industry experts who are defining the requirements and shaping the solutions in cyber security and computer network defense.

"The flaw with most organizations’ password security is that a single, compromised privileged account password could give an unauthorized individual or malicious program anonymous access to systems and applications almost anywhere on the network," Lieberman said.

"This presentation will describe how the practice of deploying shared account passwords has inadvertently created a security hole that can easily be exploited by both malicious insiders and programs. I will detail where these privileged identities exist in the enterprise, how access to them spreads over time and, most importantly, the steps that an organization can take to regain control. For instance, every privileged account password in the enterprise must be automatically and frequently updated with unique credentials, and use of these passwords must be restricted to delegated and audited users," Lieberman said.

Lieberman Software provides the industry’s most comprehensive line of privileged identity management products and has long helped secure some of the nation’s largest government and military organizations, including the U.S. Army and other branches of the U.S. Department of Defense. The company also holds a U.S. Army Certificate of Networthiness (CoN), a requirement for enterprise software products that operate in the Army Enterprise Infrastructure network.
